    Pam, This time I'm not exactly working on a ring, no.  I was asked to
    try to make a torus knot for a young lady out in Houston, a math
    major apparently, and before I got around to actually looking up what
    a torus knot _was_, I had come up with a toroidal knot that would be
    even better. 

    http://www.golden-knots.com/toroid.html 

    She likes the design, which is actually two torus knots tied in
    opposing directions in an over-one-under-one pattern, and I'm only
    going to charge her for the silver one I'll make after I figure out
    how . . .  so she won't be paying me for fifty hours of development
    and sore fingers and no sleep. I'll come out ahead anyway, since I'm
    going to make some in gold and market them to someone besides
    poverty-stricken students. 

    My dilemma is that I have to tie it on a core, and I have to remove
    the core without disturbing the wires. 

    This is going to be fun . . .
